Welcome to Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation. In this season of Carry the Two we are going to be examining how math and stats is helping scientists, engineers, and industry develop new and emerging technologies. Our first episode is all about Computation Medicine. Hosts Sam Hansen and Sadie Witkowski are joined by Danny Perez, a staff scientist at Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico, Logan Ward, a PhD computational scientist, and Jason Hattrick-Simpers, a professor of material science and engineering at the University of Toronto and a research scientist at Natural Resources Canada, CMAT Materials.
